OLPC in Haiti
Last year we partnered with the Inter-American Development Bank to send 13,700 XOs to Haiti, for the students and teachers in 60 schools. We are waiting for news from the OLPC-Haiti team and will update this page as it arrives.
This year we will be sending OLPCorps members to Haiti. These field volunteers will serve as an integral resource to teachers and school children as the country begins to rebuild. In addition to OLPCorps in Haiti we do hope to provide additional XOs to the children who have been displaced by the earthquake.
Can you give your own XO to Haiti?
If you have an XO Laptop you can spare, please ship it "OLPC For Haiti" at our Texas warehouse. It will then be refurbished and sent to Haiti later this year.
Haitian Kreyol translation
Much of the Sugar Interface and activities have been localized into Haitian Kreyol by volunteers, but more work is needed and new activities are added all the time. If you can help, register on our translation server and join the Localization list to get started.
